meloen.

Brit.

/ˈmɛləʊiː/, U.S.

/ˈmɛləˌwi/

Forms: 1600s melo, 1600s– meloe, 1900s– meloë (plural). Also with capital initial.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Meloe.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin Meloe, of uncertain origin.Post-classical Latin melloes appears as a genitive in a prescription in Paracelsus Opera (1603) III. 220 (in De morbis ex Tartaro oriundis libri duo, dated 1527 on the title page), and is regarded by Mouffet (see quots. 1658¹, 1658²) as identical with Meloe . It may originate in a coinage by Paracelsus, perhaps arbitrary (compare nostoc n.) or perhaps < ancient Greek μηλο- (in μηλολόνθη cockchafer: see Melolontha n.) + -οη , after names such as Βερόη (see Beroe n.).

Entomology.

Any of various oil beetles, spec. of the genus Meloe. Now usually (in form Meloe): the genus itself.Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Systema Naturæ (ed. 10, 1758) I. 419.Quot. 1650 is referring to an unrelated beetle, perhaps the cockchafer, Melolontha.
